Federal Program / Assistance Listing Number (ALN) 84.031 Finding Reference Number 2025-005 1. Finding Summary The auditor noted exceptions in payroll cost allocations and time and effort reporting in testing over the Title III program. 2. Management's Position Management agrees with the finding. Management Explanation Management agrees with the finding and acknowledges that the exceptions related to two (2) Title III employees who need additional training on how to properly complete the relevant forms. 3. Root Cause Analysis The root cause was a gap in understanding of how the time and effort form should be completed and how the payroll cost allocation change should be documented on the personnel action form. 4. Corrective Action(s) Management will offer training on the completion of time and effort reports as well as work with Human Resources to ensure all payroll allocations are actually reflected on hiring documents. Description of Corrective Actions To address this finding and prevent recurrence, the University will strengthen procedures to ensure payroll allocations are supported by approved personnel records and reconciled to certified time and effort documentation. These procedures and reporting controls will be routinely evaluated and reinforced through staff training and management oversight to support sustained compliance and accurate federal reporting. 5. Risk Mitigation (Required - Even if Disagreeing) The University institution recognizes the importance of accurate documentation to support payroll allocations. Accordingly, the corrective actions described above are designed to ensure adequate training and review to ensure compliance and accurate reporting. 6.

Federal Program / Assistance Listing Number (ALN) 84.031 Finding Reference Number 2025-004 1. Finding Summary The auditor noted one (1) of eight (8) drawdowns tested for the Title III program were requested in advance of expenditures incurred. 2. Management's Position Management agrees with the finding. Management Explanation Management agrees with the finding and acknowledges that during the year, we were notified that the Federal 05 system was scheduled for shutdown, which would block all access to Federal drawdowns. At that time, the University had already incurred, or was expected to incur, expenditures under the Title III program. To ensure timely payment to our Title III staff we expedited our procurement process and identified the necessary amount to cover payroll before the 05 shutdown. After subsequently learning that the Title III program would remain unaffected by the 05 shutdown, we decelerated our procurement process, refunded the drawn funds and resumed normal operations to avoid any cash management non-compliance issues. 3. Root Cause Analysis The root cause was an isolated incidence during an anticipated government shutdown. 4. Corrective Action(s) The early drawdown of federal funds was made in anticipation of a potential federal government shutdown to ensure sufficient funding would be available to support ongoing program operations and avoid disruptions in funding during the anticipated shutdown period. The funds were immediately reconciled upon receipt, and the University confirmed that the drawdown was appropriately accounted for. Description of Corrective Actions The University will draw down Federal funds based on documented cash needs, anticipated eligible expenditures, and applicable federal requirements, while documenting extraordinary circumstances. 5. Risk Mitigation (Required - Even if Disagreeing) The University institution recognizes the importance of drawing down Title III funds in accordance with Federal guidelines. 6. Responsible Party • Office/Department: Title III Office • Title of Responsible Official: Interim Title III Director • Name (optional): ____________ _ 7. Implementation Timeline • Corrective action implemented: IZI Yes D No • If not fully implemented, expected completion date: 8. Status of Corrective Action (For Prior-Year or Repeat Findings) D Fully implemented D Partially implemented D Not yet implemented Evidence of Implementation 9. Monitoring and Sustainability The University will continue is monitoring procedures to ensure Title III funds are drawn down in accordance with Federal guidelines.

Institution Name Philander Smith University Fiscal Year Ended June 30, 2025 Federal Program / Assistance Listing Number (ALN) Finding Reference Number 2025-003 1. Finding Summary The auditor noted that the University did not submit is audit reporting package and data collection form to the Federal Audit Clearinghouse within the time frame required. 2. Management’s Position Management agrees with the finding. Management Explanation Management agrees with the finding and acknowledges that the identified condition resulted from staffing vacancies and timing delays in the annual audit caused by limited staff. 3. Root Cause Analysis The root cause was staffing vacancies which has caused the University to fall behind on key reconciliations and month-end close processes. With fewer personnel, existing staff had to take on additional responsibilities which has caused slower turnaround times for day-to-day duties. Although staff are cross-trained where appropriate, vacancies disrupt normal workflows. 4. Corrective Action(s) Management is working to fill vacancies and also further cross-train staff. The University is also considering how to best engage temporary staff based on funding available from vacancies. The University acknowledges that although month-end workflows are in place, monitoring needs to be strengthen, especially during peak times. Finally, the University is investing in a new cloud-based Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) software designed for higher education institutions, Ellucian Colleague, which should automate more business processes and reconciliations. Description of Corrective Actions The University has recently hired a Controller, a position which has been vacant for some time. The Controller will work to strengthen month-end workflows, staff training, and to fill remaining vacancies. 5. Risk Mitigation (Required — Even if Disagreeing) The University institution recognizes the importance of mitigating compliance risk in this area. Accordingly, the corrective actions described above are designed to reduce the risk of inconsistent documentation, misinterpretation of regulatory requirements, and future audit findings. 6. Responsible Party • Office/Department: Business Office • Title of Responsible Official: Vice President for Fiscal Affairs • Name (optional): _____________________________ 7. Implementation Timeline • Corrective action implemented: ☒ Yes ☐ No • If not fully implemented, expected completion date: December 31, 2026 8. Status of Corrective Action (For Prior-Year or Repeat Findings) ☐ Fully implemented ☐ Partially implemented ☐ Not yet implemented Evidence of Implementation Hiring documentation for the Controller. 9. Monitoring and Sustainability The University will conduct quarterly internal reviews of month-end close commencing the period ending June 30, 2026 to monitor progress with audit preparation which will ensure timely Federal Audit Clearinghouse submission. 10.

Management Response: Management agrees that the single audit was submitted past the March 31, 2026 deadline. While the County of Del Norte accepts ultimate responsibility, the delay resulted from a combination of factors, including communication breakdowns and personnel issues with our external audit firm. During the audit, the County Auditor-Controller was notified that key points of contact were nonresponsive. Despite requesting to be looped into all correspondence, the Auditor-Controller was bypassed. This lack of direct communication prevented timely intervention to resolve issues and ensure an on-time filing. Notably, this is the County of Del Norte’s first late audit filing in over 14 years under the current management team. Estimated Completion Date: We fully expect to have our June 30, 2026 audit to be filed by the March 31, 2027 deadline. Responsible Party: Staff from the Office of the Auditor-Controller in conjunction with departmental level staff.

The Council will strengthen its internal controls to ensure expenditures are recorded timely and accurately in the general ledger and properly classified to the applicable award, budget category, and reporting period in accordance with 2 CFR 200.302(b)(2). The Fiscal Administrator is responsible for recording expenditures and preparing timely and accurate Federal Financial Reports (SF-425). Federal Financial Report due dates are maintained on the Council Calendar, with automatic notifications issued before each due date to the Fiscal Administrator, with a copy to the Administrative Officer. At the end of each six-month Federal Financial Reporting period, the Fiscal Administrator will review the general ledger and Profit and Loss reports to identify expenditures incurred during the reporting period and verify that expenditures are recorded in the appropriate accounting period and properly classified to the applicable award and account. The Fiscal Administrator will coordinate with appropriate program staff to resolve discrepancies and make necessary adjusting journal entries before the Federal Financial Report is finalized and submitted. Adjusting journal entries will be supported by appropriate documentation and reviewed by the appropriate program staff and/or Administrative Officer, as applicable. After a Federal Financial Report has been submitted, subsequent adjustments to the reported period will require documented review and approval and an assessment of whether a corrected Federal Financial Report is necessary. Prior to submission of each SF-425, the Fiscal Administrator will provide the Administrative Officer with the draft Federal Financial Report and supporting Profit and Loss/general ledger reports. The Administrative Officer will review and verify that reported expenditures and Federal revenue received agree with the Council's accounting records and supporting documentation. Any identified discrepancies will be resolved before submission. Documentation supporting the review, including the general ledger/Profit and Loss reports, Federal Financial Report, and applicable adjusting journal entries, will be retained in accordance with the Council's record retention requirements. These controls are intended to ensure expenditures are recorded in the proper reporting period, accurately classified, reconciled to the general ledger, and appropriately reflected in Federal Financial Reports prior to submission.

The findings from the December 31, 2025, schedule of findings and questioned costs are discussed below. The findings are numbered consistently with the number assigned in the schedule. FINDINGS – FEDERAL AWARD FINDINGS AND QUESTIONED COSTS Finding 2025-001 – Allowable Costs/Cost Principles – U.S. Department of Labor (Assistance Listing Number: WIOA Cluster - 17.258, 17.259, 17.278) Passed through New York City Department of Youth and Community Development (Contract# 9060060), Workforce Development Corporation (Contract# 2025WDC005) – (Material Weakness) Material Weakness Recommendation We recommend that management implement policies, controls, and procedures to ensure that time and effort is recorded based on actual effort and approval by appropriate individuals is documented at least monthly to comply with applicable cost principles. Action Taken The New Jewish Home has implemented policies and procedures to ensure that employee time and effort charged to federally funded and other restricted programs is supported by contemporaneous documentation reflecting the actual effort performed. Employee time is recorded through the organization’s established timekeeping process and is reviewed and approved by the employee’s immediate supervisor on a payroll-period basis. This control is performed every pay period and therefore occurs more frequently than the minimum monthly review and approval standard referenced in the finding. Supervisory approval is intended to provide reasonable assurance that recorded time and effort is accurate, supported, and consistent with the employee’s actual work performed and the applicable funding requirements. Management will continue to monitor compliance with these procedures and will reinforce the requirement that time and effort records be accurately maintained and appropriately approved in accordance with organizational policies and applicable federal cost principles. The New Jewish Home will also retain the applicable timekeeping and approval documentation as evidence of the control’s operation. Completion Date: October 5, 2026
